That would be a nice thing to do, just make sure you check with dispatch first to make sure you have their permission to do so.

You are right, it is a "toot your own horn" post. Why would anyone waste good money on a book like this when the same info is on this sight for free.

I write all my rate quotes using mapquest door to door. If i am driving the miles I get paid for them.

If you think zero3nine is funny you need to read what you just posted, now it is really funny. The I pay fedex line was the best. I have not read anything that funny in a long time.

I operate a van with my own authority and make about 80 to 100% more than being leased to a carrier. I work directly with shippers and spend about 1 day every three weeks doing sales calls. As far as billing I use a factoring company to pay me and handle the billing. I have been doing it this...

Actually what zero3nine said was true.

By the way Phil, you have no customers. Your just a tool Fedex CC uses to service their customers.

There is an interesting article in the Dollars and Sense section from jan 25 2005, Independent contractor classification. The next article is interesting too. Seems a lawyer in a case showed that when a carrier dispatched a contractor that had the carriers signs on his truck and was wearing...

In reality if you lease to a carrier with an exclusive use contract you are an dependent contractor. To be an independent contractor you would need your own authority and partner agreements with other carriers.

So you are saying Fedex recruiters are liars? After reading what was told to ljubisa and reading the original post by timberland about trying to verify some things he was told by a Fedex recruiter I would have to agree with you. Seems to be a pattern here with Fedex recruiters putting out...

I have been doing the out and back runs for close to 5 years now and I have not went broke yet. And yes it is expediting when everything I haul is time sensitive freight. This leads me to believe that you have not been around expediting long enough to know there different ways to make good money...

Yea I read on here about some of those low ball offers, .40 and .50 cpm. Makes you wonder just how great Bolt really is.

What you need to do is sign on with a carrier and run for them for about a year. Dont worry about how much money your making, as long as you make enough to survive use this time to learn the business. After a year you should have learned enough to get your own authority and run on your own...

After seeing a lot of the junk vans these 5 star carriers have leased on saying that a pickup truck does not look professional is laughable.

And this is all because the companies realized that 95% of the people in expediting need someone to hold their hand and guide them.

Operating authority is required for cargo vans. There is a operating authority for vehicles 10,000# and under, $300,000 primary and at least $5000 cargo. The only reason for this is to make sure you have insurance.

I know I am since I right my own rate and FSC. On jan 1st I raised my rate 10cents per paid mile and I adjust the fsc for every load.

That carrier would be Express 1 if I remember correctly, right?

why not do online voting that would end with enough time so that the inductees can be announced at the expo?

Why not let the expediters themselves vote. One of the major complaints about the pro football hall of fame is that there are to few voting. I believe baseball has about 500 voters.
